Photos Redone - Yosemite National Park/Mono Lake

As I learn more RAW photo processing techniques, I get better and better with my results. Recently I went back and redone some of my photos that I felt I didn't adequately process the first time through that was worth reprocessing. Today I am here to show you the new results I have for Yosemite National Park and Mono Lake from my 2012 and 2013 trip. You can view my original photos and other trip photos from 2013 here. You can view my original photos and other trip photos from 2012 here.

I will first start off with photos from my 2013 trip.

Loved the blue sky and the clouds that day. Made for a really nice country scenery. The road you see is SR-140. I took this on my drive to Yosemite National Park from the SF Bay Area.

 Someone's farm fenced off with barbed wire. Still on the side of SR-140 on my drive to Yosemite National Park.

Another photo on SR-140. Loved the curve in the highway. As you can see, a pro photographer may suddenly slow and pull over with no warning at all. :P So next time you see some douche driving slowly down an empty highway, this could be the reason. LOL

The rest are from my 2012 trip.

Boardwalk at Mono Basin. 

Tufas at Mono Lake. 

Grass field with some tufa behind. I think the clouds adds a nice touch to the photo. Good thing the clouds started rolling in!  

More tufa formation at Mono Lake 

Tioga Pass in Yosemite National Park. 

This lake was near the eastern entrance of Yosemite (like near the gate).  I thought the landscape looked great so I headed down. 

 This was the meadow near the lake I think. 

 Further into Yosemite National Park, there was a stream. I took my tripod into the stream for this one. 

These are all the photos for today. I hope you have enjoyed them. Please don't forget to share the blog post with your friends and family members!
